Lebanon “condemns (Benjamin) Netanyahu’s position and the Israeli aggression against UNIFIL” peacekeepers, says Najib Mikati. “The warning that Netanyahu addressed to… Guterres demanding the removal of the UNIFIL represents a new chapter in the enemy’s approach of not complying with international” norms, he adds.
